The Rock in 1947 that Made Contact with a Jar from 125 BC | Tough Bible Questions

It sounds almost like an adventure story. In 1947, Bedouin shepherds near the Dead Sea discovered ancient scrolls hidden in caves near Qumran. What followed became one of the greatest manuscript discoveries of the twentieth century: ancient scrolls, thousands of fragile fragments, and an enormous puzzle scholars would spend decades putting back together. Alyce-Kay also shares what it was like to see Dead Sea Scroll fragments being worked with during her own trip to Israel in 1982. But these scrolls aren't only fascinating archaeological artifacts. Some contain books of the Hebrew Bible—and they gave biblical scholars manuscripts about a thousand years older than important Hebrew manuscripts previously available for comparison. So what did the Dead Sea Scrolls teach us about the Bible? Did they change our translations? And how do scholars use ancient manuscript discoveries to help determine the best reading of Scripture? Come sit back and enjoy the story. #DeadSeaScrolls #Qumran #BibleHistory #BibleManuscripts #CatholicBible #Scripture #BibleTranslation #LivingWord #SufferingWell
